How do you feel about season pass?

I'm unsure how to feel about a season pass in this game. There is barely anything known about multiplayer, and they already try to upsell us. I hope this doesn't mean the game will lean too much into the 'games as a service' category. I'd be fine with a model like For Honor where there is a free and a paid progression. But I'd rather have no battle pass and just straight up pay for what I want like the first game.

It depends on how they structure it. If the season pass is just cosmetics then I am fine with that. If there are functional advantages or substantive content that is in the season pass, then I am less okay with that.

If they use whatever revenue they get from selling skins and cosmetics to fund the further creation of free content that that is good thing in my opinion. Game companies need to fund content, and if they are able to provide more content for free by selling optional cosmetics then that is a win.

I think a lot of gamers and the public writ large have overly ambitious expectations for what can be offered for the initial cost of $40 to $70 dollars.

Skimping on features in favor of paid content, or putting features behind a paywall is a good way of pissing off the fan base. EA and lootboxes, and Darktide coming out unfinished but with a paid shop are two examples of the way to not come out with paid add on features.

It needs PvP and horde mode

To be honest I don't want a season pass for multiplayer, I would play it a little and forget it after a week. I want a season pass for more single player content, like story missions or new chapters.

It appears to be just cosmetic as per Amazon's listing of the Gold Ediiton priced at 100€. Might vary with other currencies. Doesn't seem to be worth at that price, even the Steelbook is rather plain, if you're collecting stuff like that.

removing it form wish list now.

this game was 100% delayed solely to add in a toxic battle pass, and a $250 pre order bonus... screw this game. battlepasses are a cancer. but the masses will see, pretty gwaphics and explosions and 'it looks cool' but i wont be buying this. been on wish list since announcement. no longer

Saber's previous game World War Z had a season pass, so the one in SM2 may be something like that.
